handle is hein.gao/gaobadawr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: The Sandi Group, Inc. File: B-401218 Date: June 5, 2009 Anand V. Ramana, Esq., McGuire Woods LLP, for the protester. Charmaine A. Howson, Esq., and Jeffrey Galan, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is denied where agency reasonably did not accept protester's late proposal submission because protester was not the otherwise successful offeror. 2. Agency's rejection of protester's initial proposal as unacceptable was reasonable where protester advised agency that the individual it proposed to be responsible for the project was no longer available and the protester's proposed substitution was received late. DECISION The Sandi Group, Inc. (TSG) of Washington, D.C. protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RP30-08CC60025, issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center for security services at the DOE Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. TSG contends that the agency improperly rejected its proposal modification as late. We deny the protest. The SRS is a key DOE complex that--through safe stabilization, treatment, and disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste--supports DOE national security and non-proliferation programs and reduces risks as required by the Office of Environmental Management program. Agency Report (AR) at 1. The DOE sought proposals to meet the security requirements for the DOE Savannah River Operations Office and the National Nuclear Security Administration programs. The RFP provides for a cost-plus award-fee contract with a base performance period of 5 years with two options extending the contract for up to five more years.
